The 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations semi‑final between Morocco and Cameroon ended 0‑0 after extra‑time, with Cameroon progressing via a 3‑1 shoot‑out win. Michaely Bihina kept the Atlas Lionesses from scoring, saving a penalty in extra‑time and three from the spot.

The match was tight early, with Sanaa Mssoudy and Hanane Ait El Haj producing chances for Morocco, while Imane Saoud and Michaela Abam had shots blocked by Bihina. A VAR call in the final minute saw Nyadjou penalised, giving Cameroon a chance to win.

Bihina’s heroics continued as she denied Atiq and Ouzraoui, and later stopped Khajida Er‑Rmichi’s effort from Grace Mendoua. The keeper, who plays for Benfica, had already made nine stops against Nigeria in the quarter‑final, proving a decisive factor.

Morocco’s loss is a blow to a nation that has invested heavily in women's football, hiring Spain’s Jorge Vilda. Cameroon now faces Malawi in the final, while Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria await play‑offs for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifier.
